[@TheSamuraijim87]

It all plays out like some sordid historical drama. HBO or BBC could make this into a fantastic period piece. There are so many varied and amazing characters who end up taking the stage. It would be amazing to watch. It would also be desperately needed, because the only piece currently dealing with anything remotely connected to this era is a show called "Resurrection: Ertugrul", about the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, which, while interesting, is clearly catered toward Turkish nationalists and leaves a lot of the historical minutiae out of the story in favor of cartoonish portrayals of anyone not a Turkic tribesman. The only correction I'd make is that I think Sanjar ought be classified as the last true Great Seljuk Sultan, considering that he outlasted and outplayed all his brothers, and after his death the whole Great Seljuk empire began to finally collapse. I'd also really like to see a series here on the Ghaznavids and Ghurids, and the evolution, from those realms, of the Delhi Sultanate, which i think deserve their own piece of the narrative, since they were historically so influential.

[@HistoryTime]

TheSamuraijim87 I'm amazed at the lack of films and tv shows on the high Middle Ages. It's the most incredible period of history. Reads better than any work of fiction ever conceived. I will eventually be covering the Ghaznavids and the origin of the sultanate of Delhi. Always love reading your comments, cheers!

[@HistoryTime]

TheSamuraijim87 Oh and good point about Sanjar.

[@TheSamuraijim87]

[@HistoryTime]

You may be able to tell- I've become engrossed in the history of the Seljuks over the past month or so. I'm looking forward to studying their decline and fall after the rise of the Zengids and Saladin.

[@HistoryTime]

That's right. The reality of history is always far more nuanced than it seems at first glance. It's never black and white. Usually more akin to power plays between the leading warlords, generals and kings.

Horses in Europe were split up in general. Nomadic tribes, as you pointed out, had huge numbers of horses. To keep them from fighting each other a lot of them were gelded. Horses breaded for war in Europe were kept in stables. They remained stallions, due to being more aggressive. But also geldings could be found. Mares were not ridden, they were either used by (wealthier) farmers for field work or kept outside for breeding together with their foals. If you like to see fighting on horseback based on medieval fencing manuscripts then I recommend you to search for Arne Koets, here on youtube.

These early years of Crusader history really show that quality can easily beat quantity over and over again. Better armor and stronger horses will triumph even if outnumbered. I would love to know what a real Destrier horse looked like. Do you know if there is any archaeological evidence of the anatomy of Destrier war horses?

[@HistoryTime]

I wouldn't want to come face to face with one in battle! In regards to the archaeology I am unsure. Maybe someone can enlighten us?

[@peterspatling3151]

There are rather few finds of horse skeletons that really can be identified as "destriers". The somewhat average horse in high and late medieval Europe had a size between 1,35m and 1,45m. Those horses, from a modern perspective, were ponies. Google Island horses to get an idea about the height. Note, the small horses are also the reason why spurs in the 15th century are very often so long. If you put a 1,75m man on a 1,35m horse his feet will hang quite low. To reach the horses belly he needs longer spurs. That 's really all there is to it. Getting back, the horses for war probably were at least 1,50m high. I know one find from the Netherlands of a horse with a height of 1,60m. That dates to the 15th century. I think you can expect a good destrier to be ~1,55m tall. It needs to be noted that "big" does not necessarily mean "tall". Even if you have two horses with the same height, one can still be bigger, simply because it has thicker legs, a bigger body in general and so forth. So a destrier should be around 1,55m and have strong legs. Look at the rider to the left here. That horse is 1,55m and the rider himself about 1,77m. The horse is quite young and will get a lot more muscles in the next year. Therefore he will get bigger (but not taller), which enables him to carry the rider longer. scontent-frx5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37654670_954681381378356_1273596410448576512_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=f22d409e91bbaafb93e244f11317da18&oe=5BD8D667 Breeds like in our present day did not exist in the middle ages. Horses were classified by their origin or their use. Destrier for war, Rouncey for travelling and so forth. Or if we follow the origin idea than we read about Castillian horses, or Barbs or Aragonese etc. The modern day bullfighting horses, so Iberian horses in general (there are exceptions ) are pretty close to destriers as these are breaded for being agile. There is the idea that destrier comes from the Spanish term "destreza" which means "dexterity". That makes a lot more sense than saying "destrier comes from the latin word dexter and means right because the horses were guided on the right by the page since they were not ridden until actual battle". (Which is nonsense to be honest) If you'd like to see more about mounted combat take a look at my channel I made a video together with Arne Koets about medieval saddles, that includes a bit of sparring at the end where one can clearly see why the horses need to be agile. :) Oh and a new VERY interesting video will show up either this evening or tomorrow morning. You should look forward to it ! ;)

[@peterspatling3151]

They surely did wear armour. There a dozens of sources that tell that some of the knights looked like hedgehogs because the Saracen arrows got stuck in their maille. Heat is not a problem, not having any water (like in Hattin) THAT is a problem. The horses are not slower even if they were it wouldn't be a big deal as it comes down to being able to make quick turns. A Spanish horse for instance can turn quite easy on the hindlegs, but it has to go slow to do so. In the thickness of battle you can't do elaborate turns anyway and can not go fast because of the danger of crashing with someone else. If the enemy (Saracens) don't have any armour than the knights would have an advantage anyway... Btw. they (the Saracens) did wear armour as well, there are even text sources extant that explain how they made their armour!

[@ryanaegis3544]

I used to keep Belgians (huge work horses) for their owners. Biggest horses I have ever seen, but built thicker than what one would normally ride. Last month, I was at a fair and saw two horses bigger than any others I have seen besides. The owner claimed 17 hands on one and 19 on the other, which doesn't sound all that huge, but they dwarfed the other regular sized horses around them. The owner said they were a cross between Belgians and something else (I don't remember what); they were almost as big as pure Belgians, but less stocky and without fur on their feet. They looked just like a typical riding horse but much much bigger. I decided that that was the kind of horse I would want if I were to ride in full armor into battle.

"The prince of Antioch, Roger de Salerne, being undaunted in spirit, imposed silence on the rest by a gesture, and he himself spoke thus: Come, my brothers and fellow knights! And you, the infantry, let us now draw nearer. Remember with how much praise, how much honour - indeed, with how much written remembrance the deeds of good men are committed to memory by the whole world. Behold, the time has come when your strength and virtue may be esteemed, when the name of your victory over the barbarians (The Turks) may shine brightly throughout the regions of the world. Strive, too, because the crown is already promised by the Lord to those who fight lawfully. Therefore let us hasten to attack them and, when our lances are broken, let us approach closer as quickly as possible brandishing our unsheathed swords around their heads, so that their pride may be brought low by our constant blows and, by God’s vengeance, their annihilation will not be delayed."

CB W you mean conquered by them. I know many people controlled this area wouldn't be suprised if the hittites ruled it at some point thousands of years ago before the assyrians and persians, macedonians, romans. The byzantines had been rulers of this area before the arab conquest as everyone knows i mean the crusades started because of the christian wish to relieve the byzantine empire from arab aggresion during the arab conquests. They had a power base further east, they were invaders not indigenious people rising up. i'm sure they would have converted afterwards though. I've heard of the sassanids neo persians that raided this area from further east during the reign of justinian but not the ghassanids will check them out though cheers.
